Cruz vs. Rubio for second place could be very important, especially for Rubio. Cruz will do well in Iowa and if he also beats Rubio in NH, then Rubio’s probably on the ropes due to complete lack of momentum and victories.

Typo alert, @caitlinmacneal. As of this comment, your article puts Rubio at 18 percent. Actually, the poll puts him at 11 percent.

Trump has firmly implanted himself in the W space: The 30% republican’t crazy plus those too scared to know better added to the inevitable winner’s bump voters. Voila.

BTW, that aggressive Northrup Grumman ad says all you need to know about the republican primary. Well, that and the terrifying contagion that struck the National Review last week.

It still surprises me that Jeb(!) is clinging to FIFTH place nationally and in some states, even lower. Remember how we all just sort of took his nomination as the most likely outcome earlier this year?

Fox’s own article incorrectly used the 13% Rubio got in the early-Jan poll.

From the link:

GOP primary voters want a candidate who is a strong leader (24 percent)
and is “willing to tell it like it is” (23 percent). Almost as many
want someone who has true conservative values (19 percent). Far fewer dsay having the right experience (8 percent) or winning in November (7 percent) are top of mind for them when picking a candidate.

Love it.

Putin could probably win the nomination.

Also from the link:

  1. Are there any Republican candidates you would refuse to vote for against the Democrat in November?

Only 6% said they wouldn’t go for Carson in that situation.

This shows just how nutty and out of touch the average GOP voter to be.

2016: Year of the table flippers, chest beaters and robe renters. And the very very truculent shall inherit the polling places.

Trump/Cruz, the dream team!!! The Democratic Dream Team to be exact …

I personally hope Donald Trump DOES shoot someone, just so I can watch our failed media experiment and sites like Breitbart spin it away, while he continues to rise in the polls.

If Obama could run again he would win the White House, but since he can’t I guess it’ll be a close one between Bernie and Hillary. Someone said, “BUT what about the Republicans?”…We all laughed and joked with OUR response, “What is a Republican”>>>LOL
